We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

This is not limited to yt-dlp. Tests have been run with the same account on various official YouTube TV clients (PS3, web browser, apple tv) and they are also only getting DRM formats for videos.

We live in hell-world.

    Nope. The person who uploads the video owns the copyright/IP. Seems like they should have say in if theres DRM on their IP.

      Yeah but the YT terms explicitly say that you give them a worldwide royalty free license to do whatever the fuck they want.

      Content creators have no say.
